Audition speakers before you buy
SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.
Why selecting your headphones is important
SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.
Two different listening modes
In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.
In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.
Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space
SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY DOOR SPEAKERS IN A 2021 RAM PROMASTER 3500 (HAS SPEAKER PANELS THAT SNAP OFF WITHOUT REMOVING DOOR PANEL. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I CUT A HOLE IN THE FACTORY SPEAKER PANELS AND USE THE SPEAKER GRILL (POLK AUDIO DB651 - BOUGHT SOMETIME AGO BUT NEVER INSTALLED). THE REASON FOR ASKING IS, WOULD THE SOUND QUALITY IMPROVE MUCH WITH NOT HAVING THE FACTORY SPEAKER PANEL OVER IT "SMOTHERING" THE SOUND ? THE POLK GRILLS ARE PRETTY MUCH OPEN, I WOULD INSTALL THEM OVER A 6" HOLE THAT I WOULD PUT IN THE PANELS. THANK YOU

I have a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek that I installed focal coaxials in for the fronte but took the dash tweeters out because they were junk factory. The sound isnt at all what it should be atm. Was wondering if taking the tweeter out is the reason why it sounds so bad. It's all hooked up to an Alpine amp and pioneer deck.

It would be great to show a video replacing speakers on a Jeep Wrangler roll bar that need to use a bracket

Terry, it's worth trying a different cable with your AUX input, just to rule that out. If this is the factory system (and it sounds like the vehicle may still be under warranty if it's 2016?), have your Chrysler dealership take a look.

Steven, we wouldn't recommend it. It would entail significant alteration of the factory location and fabrication of a mount. Give us a call, and an advisor can help you with alternatives.
